Super Behavior

Before correcting a behavior, ask yourself:

-Do I need to correct this behavior? Is there a safety issue, or can I let it go? 

-What is the most positive way to redirect this behavior? 

What rewards can I follow through with? 

-Have I praised all the good behavior I can today? 

-Will the consequence I choose reinforce bad behavior?

-Create e a place where students with special needs love to come. 

-Be a place of grace.

-Provide a time filled with fun things to do, including favorite toys and activities.

-Have helpful tools on hand, like noise-canceling ear muffs/plugs, timers, and fidgets.

-Know students’ likes, dislikes, triggers, and calming methods.

-Create familiarity with schedules, routines, and defined activity areas.

-Encourage parents to share anything new or different that may affect their child's behavior.

-Interpret what the person is trying to tell you through their actions.

-Be a step ahead by noticing when behavior changes, such as a calm student becoming more active or a vocal student becoming quiet.

-Ask someone from outside the class to observe and identify triggers with fresh eyes. .
